Fitch Ratings Indonesia has published the National Long-Term Rating of 'AA(idn)' on PT JACCS Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Finance Indonesia's (JACCS MPMF, AA(idn)/Stable) third tranche of bonds issued under its first bond programme.

The bonds consist of the following:

Series A: IDR150 billion of 6.70% bonds with a tenor of 370 days, due April 2025; and

Series B: IDR350 billion of 7.25% bonds with a tenor of three years, due April 2027.

'AA' National Long-Term Ratings denote expectations of a very low level of default risk relative to other issuers or obligations in the same country or monetary union. The default risk inherently differs only slightly from that of the country's highest-rated issuers or obligations.

Key Rating Drivers

The bonds are rated at the same level as JACCS MPMF's National Long-Term Rating, in line with Fitch's criteria, as the bonds represent the company's direct, senior obligations and rank equally with all its other senior obligations.

The bonds are 75% secured against the company's receivables, but we do not view this as providing credit enhancement under our criteria for entities in Indonesia.

JACCS MPMF's National Long-Term Rating is derived from our expectation of extraordinary support from its parent, JACCS Co., Ltd., if needed. For more details, see 'Fitch Affirms JACCS MPMF at 'AA(idn)'; Outlook Stable', published on 24 March 2024.
